🎙️How do you moderate free speech on #VR & #AR technologies? Ellysse Dick joined Ian Hamilton on the UploadVR podcast to discuss how #privacy, #FreeSpeech, & #safety can be implemented in future policies. youtube.com/watch?v=g8pfVz…

Pop quiz: name an analogy or pop-culture example of the #metaverse that was *not* coined by a white man writing dystopian sci-fi. (Genuinely curious here! I think we could all do with some variety in our examples...)

.@Facebook's announcement to rebrand as #Meta should shape the way #policymakers engage with #ARVR, says Ellysse Dick itif.org/publications/2…

Can't wait to discuss building a safe and inclusive #metaverse with this fantastic group!

WEBINAR: Combating misinformation or preventing free speech? Nov. 9, @ashleyjnsn talks w/ Will Duffield of Cato Institute on how to protect political speech while reducing harm on #SocialMedia. bit.ly/3CuVyjA

Just heard my partner tell someone "idk I think it's like Star Wars" when asked what Dune is about for the third time today. "It's a desert planet and there's space travel, it's basically the same thing."

Excited to share this report on "Public Policy for the #Metaverse" summarizing the considerations and recommendations from the #ARVRPolicy Conference last month! itif.org/publications/2…

via Future of Privacy Forum: "It is important to delineate between the current and likely future uses and far off notions depicted by science fiction, so that we can identify urgent concerns and prioritize meaningful policy initiatives." fpf.org/blog/how-neuro…

Friendly reminder there is no "bipartisan agreement" on intermediary liability and we should probably deal with that before we try to overhaul speech laws?

An unfortunate consequence of the #metaverse: if you don't send your parents enough photos for their mantle over the course of the year, they might just pull a screenshot of your OLD avatar instead 😭

Move over mediocre white men, we're carrying ourselves with the confidence of Tatooine's most incompetent crime lord now.

Privacy and safety don’t have to be in conflict with each other. Today Meta is publishing a white paper on how we think about data protection in our safety and security tools. about.fb.com/news/2022/07/h…
